SIBI-P1 Translation G3744-02
a scent
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS): direct object form; feminine gender; singular number. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Scent" preserves the primary, literal sense of a perceived smell derived from the root ὀζ- (to smell, emit odour), without assuming pleasantness. The accusative feminine singular form is reflected by the simple singular noun with the implied object function. |
